Turn Up the Eat

Pitter Patties

It’s not like you woke up and decided today was the day you would stop feeding your kids healthy and nutritious meals.

It’s okay. Hot dogs happen to everyone.

But the next time you feel a wiener coming on, reach for Pitter Patties instead. The muffin-shaped frozen entrees are a delcious take on veggies, protein, and whole grains.

All-natural (no artificial colors, preservatives, or hormones) patties come in five flavors: Yammy Chicken (chicken, apple, sweet potato, brown rice); Pasghetti (pasta, tomato, cheese); Cheezini (zucchini, mushroom, cheese, oats); Spinach Patch (spinach, mushroom, cheese); and, coming in June, Viva Vegan (quinoa, legumes, peas).

Just warm and serve. Your kids will take care of the rest.

And you’ll save the day from going to the dogs.
